2010 Dinner A Success!
On Friday, May 14, Gwendolyn A. Poles, DO, was formally celebrated as the 144th President of DCMS. The event was held at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, and attendees had the pleasure of touring the historic facility and enjoying dinner with colleagues.
The guest speakers presented an interactive discussion on “Healthcare Disparities.” The speakers included Donald Spigner, MD, a Harrisburg family practitioner and DCMS past president, and Vivian Gadsden, EdD, with the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, who is the William T. Carter Professor of Child Development and Education, Director of the National Center on Fathers and Families, and Associate Director of the National Center on Adult Literacy.
Dr. Poles presented outgoing President, Andrew Richards, MD, FACS, with a plaque, in recognition of his hard work, leadership and dedication as President of DCMS from 2008-2009.
All proceeds from the President's Dinner were given to the Community Check-Up Center of South Harrisburg, which serves a very impoverished community.
